Availability

I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.

Information Ryan B. would like to know about your pet

I welcome dogs and cats of any age, and I will ensure that any special needs are taken care of. If you have specific requests/requirements, please let me know and I will make the necessary accommodations. I can even offer your pet a room of their own, if they require. If your pet takes medication, vitamins, injections, creams, ect. please provide detailed instructions on how it is administered and I will ensure that they are taken care of. I will send daily photos of your pet. You are also welcomed to contact me to check-in on them. Note: I do not accept boarding requests for the following breeds: Pit Bill (or mixes with), Great Dane, Rottweiler.

A typical day

I love to play with my pets and the pets I care for, I want to ensure they have proper exercise and play-time. I will adhere to any requirements that you have for your pet, and I will ensure they have a safe and comfortable stay. I have over an acre of land for them to explore. I will walk your dog around the property so they can smell and sniff. We will also play tug-of-war, fetch, and ball games. If you want your dog to enjoy the company of other dogs, I will introduce them to our 1-year old puppy and they will play with your companion. Our dog, Zoey, is very friendly and welcoming and will make for the perfect play-mate!

Pet care experience

I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side.

2nd time staying with Ryan. Ryan was able to take our booking short notice (less than 24 hrs) for a 2 day out of town trip. Quick response when booking and our pups are very happy at pickup! Will continue to use Ryan in the future for certain!
